  • RJ-45 female links server to switch infrastructure
  • Supports virtual media and CAC for secure access

Server Interface Module for HDMI and CAC

The Vertiv Avocent MPU IQ module connects a single server to a MergePoint Unity KVM switch using HDMI video, USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse, and virtual media with CAC support. It provides an external wired link with a 19-pin HDMI Type A connector on the server side and an RJ-45 female port on the switch side. This unit is built for administrators who need secure, at-the-server access through a compatible Avocent switch.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This module suits IT teams managing servers that output HDMI video and require USB 2.0 peripheral mapping plus smart-card authentication through a MergePoint Unity appliance. It does not suit environments using DisplayPort, DVI or VGA video outputs on the server, nor installations that need USB 3.x speeds or a different KVM platform. Buyers without a compatible MergePoint Unity switch cannot use this interface module.

Bundled Connections and Their Impact

The cable assembly integrates HDMI video, USB 2.0 data and an RJ-45 link in one fixed harness, so no separate video, USB or network cables are required at the server rack. This reduces cable count and connection points, supporting faster deployment and simpler cable management in dense cabinets. The combined virtual media and CAC channels travel over the same RJ-45 link, enabling remote media mounting and smart-card logon without extra cabling.

Questions about this item

Does my rack already need a Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity KVM switch for this MPU IQ module to work?

Yes, this server interface module is designed specifically for use with Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity KVM switches and connects to them via the RJ-45 female port on the module.

Can I keep using my existing USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse with this module?

The module provides a USB 2.0 male connector for keyboard and mouse input, so your current USB 2.0 peripherals will plug directly into it.

How do I confirm the virtual media and CAC features are active after connecting the HDMI and USB cables?

When the module is linked to a compatible MergePoint Unity switch, the switch management interface will show the server module as connected and the virtual media and CAC functions will be available for selection.
